Thank you for participating in engagement activities for this rezoning application. For any further inquiries regarding this application, please contact the planner on this page, under the "who's listening" section.
The application is expected to go to City Council Public Hearing for a decision, with the exact date still to be determined. For more information, please visit these FAQs (External link) for Council meetings.
Because of public health issues, the City is unable to host an in-person public engagement event to share information and collect feedback, as usual. This page is to help you find out more information about the proposed rezoning and tell us what you think, instead of having an in-person meeting. Please review the information on this page and tell us what you think and ask any questions below, before the end of the day on June 25, 2021. We will use any feedback that you share to make sure our review of the application is as complete as possible and will also summarize it for City Council so that they are aware of your perspective prior to making a decision.
Application Details:
The City has received a proposal to rezone properties on the northwest corner of 95 Avenue NW and 87 Street NW, currently known as the Strathearn Heights Apartment Complex. The proposal includes: 9518 and 9560 87 Street NW, 8720, 8722 and 8724 95 Avenue NW, 8728U 97 Avenue NW, and 8712U 96 Avenue NW.
Rezoning:
The application proposes to rezone the properties from a Site-Specific Development Control Provision (DC2.917) and the Public Parks Zone (AP) to a new Site-Specific Development Control Provision (DC2) and the following conventional residential zones: Medium Density Multiple Family Zone (RF6), Low-Rise Apartment Zone (RA7), Medium-Rise Apartment Zone (RA8), and High-Rise Apartment Zone (RA9).
The proposed rezoning would allow for the development of a primarily residential transit oriented urban village with a range of housing types complemented by local, small scale commercial uses.
